PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL I 91 9 JOSEPH CHESTER ALLEN SENIOR DEBATING, CLEANER noixizn, '19, CLASS Book Br-r-rl Goes the bell at 8:30 as Chester comes dashing into school after doing a mile in 3 flat. Chet is the gentleman who wears the flashy neckties, is always talking and forever exhausting the chalk supply upon some unfortunate person's head. He is one of the leaders of the Ugangl' that enjoy breaking up the scenic effect of any class room. By his questionnaire we learn that he likes no less than five subjects the best of all. My goodness! Everyone knows Chet never wore his books out with over-study. He is an ardent supporter of all school activities and unknown to many is quite an ivory ticklerf, In debat- ing, an activity he prefers to eating, his superllous flow of language electrifies the most learned. ANNA LOUISE ARNOLD oLic,xN1f:R BoARD ,I7',I8'lIQ, CLASS Book coMiv11TTi4:14: 4' Nan or Happy or K' Wishey Cwhichever you like bestl is a good Sport. We think her second nickname suits her best as she always has a Smile and a pleasant word for everybody. Anna has scored several successes in dramatics and, though she isn't priggish, she makes a per- fectly wonderful elderly lady. Applied design holds special attractions for Anna and she is often sur- rounded by a group of girls who greatly admite her handicraft. Next year, Anna is going to brighten the State Normal School up a bit by her presence there. RUTH ELIZA BEACHEN CHARLES FREDERICK BAGG Fred is a carricaturist of unusual ability. He is a quiet fellow and so bashful is he that it was with difficulty that we got him to affix his name to his cartoons. Fred came to us only this year from the wild and woolly Mendon, Mass. He is a good student, his pet studies being chemistry and mathematics. Fred has no definite plans for the future but expects to enter some college in the near future. Well, Fred, old scout, you have the best wishes of the class for every success in the future. Ruth IS one of those ln ely crickets in Room 29, who has quietly CPD and unobtrusively completed her four years at P. H. S. Ruth's two fads are drawing and dancing and she is quite adept at both. The State Normal School will receive her next fall.

1919 1919 PERSONALS DRAMATICS, '18, ,IQ Ray, as a representative of the Garden Street Grammar School, has hlled the position in a most praiseworthy manner. He has served successfully on the Class Book Committee, the Gleaner Board, ,IQ, and as vice-president of the dramatic society. Ray is a quiet chap and has indeed selected a fitting motto: Small boys should be seen and seldom heard. 'tRayH is a born actor as may be evidenced by his recent success in t'The Private Secretaryfl He is a good scholar as Well, his favorite subjects being stenography, typewriting, and history. Ray is not certain what he will do after leaving us, but he may enter the School of Design, Where he is bound to succeed. DORIS ALLEN CL,xss 111sToR1AN. For four years this young lady has travelled all the way from Sayles- ville, breasting the storms of winter and heat of summer, to join our ranks. We shudder when We think of what we might have been de- prived, had she entered Central Falls High as she seriously considered doing. Doris quotes this line from Macbeth : Methought I heard a voice cry, 'Sleep no moref From this we judge that she either burns the midnight oil or rises at the first crow of the cock to prepare her assignments. But that she gives 'trecess and dismissal as the part of school she likes best, we attribute to her modesty rather than to her real feelings since she is one of the stand-bys of the fifth hour history class and is very proficient in French. Doris will join the P. H. S. unit at Wheaton next fall.

I 91 9 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL HARRY BERNARD BASEBALL, '18, CHAIRMAN LYCEUM MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEES, ,IQ Behold! Harry Bernard, our illustrious mathematician, chemist and Latin shark Somehow these subjects seem to be second nature to Harry and he has a habit of proving his geometry propositions according to Bernard's own method, i'Short cuts in Geometry. The Lyceum has also held quite an interest for Harry and he excels in debating. Often when he gets up to speak he makes his opponents look sick. But you must not believe that Bernard is a study bug for, on the con- trary, he has managed to drive flivvers and play baseball in his spare time. When he shoots up North Main Street Boulevard the people know enough to stop, look and listen. At baseball, he is also very clever, and hits the f'pill'l at a pretty high clip. WALTER BERNARD Attention! Take a squint at the human answer book, the walking dictionary, the intellectual phenomenon of P. H. S. And well may 'fWalt be called by these appellations of honor, for there is not a ques- tion within the limits of human knowledge that he cannot answer. He is an excellent scholar in all his subjects but he takes special delight in doping out some difficult proposition in mathematics, or in arranging some question in chemistry. Moreover, Walt,' sprung a surprise on football fans by his prowess on the gridiron last fall. He intends to take up the study of medicine after leaving us Well, 4' Walt, old boy, the best wishes of the class go w 1th you NEWELL WALCOTT BISHOP Bish believes in plodding along, and during his four years, stay with us he has quietly done so. Although Bish offers little fight to his classmates, he assaults batteries of geometry, algebra, English, French, chemistry, and history with vigor, and wins out. He tells us he has contributed to the Athletic Association, until he is nearly broke He also misses his chum, Bott, who graduated last year. HBish expects to continue his education in some college Qpossibly Brownl but he is undecided. Well, Bish, we wish you luck wherever you go. CARLTON HOLBROOR BLISS RECEPTION COMMITTEE, SECRETARY or ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IQIS ro TRACK TEAM, IQI7'I8wIQ, FOOTBALL, IQI7'I8 Our Carleton has worked very hard in his four years at P. H. S. trying to understand the wiles of those wild, wild wimmen. Old Toto has suceeded in making several nicknames for himself, and the Gang says that whenever he is around there is sure to be a riot. Totols am- bitions have been directed towards Annapolis, but fate has been against him, so we will find him among the popular ones of our class. We wish UToto the best of luck, when he walks up the south side with his little brown hat, over his Howing curls.
